here's to being healthier. i've tried most of the bad methods...and realism helps, you're right. congratgs on the end of your love affair with diet soda and fast food. i'm so proud of you!

well, i suppose the "choice" debate sucks...but it's more about chosen freedom and happiness...than hiding than it is about love or anything else these days.
why does it matter? i thought the saying went "love is blind", not "love is not necessarily equal on all fronts".
i wish we were all just inside out.

oh, and also, in the same token about "if you were gay you wouldn't just throw it out there..."
some of us don't have to. it gets thrown into our faces day after day. i'm not saying being of an "alternative lifestyle" (because i much prefer that umb-a-rella-ella-ella...) isn't a daily picnic...but it's brought up more by the heterosexuals i know than anything.
is being gay really just a sexual orientation thing? no. it's not entirely who we are, but it is a part of the sum of us. being gay is just like being black...except when you're black, you really can't hide it as well.

to brooklynbabe,
it is true, your honesty is in fact quite admirable.
however, we can go rounds for days on whether or not i was born gay...or furthermore, transsexual.
but to fully understand that, you would have to ask yourself: would i choose a life/lifestyle that would make me undergo more stress/pressure than most others?
i didn't choose anything, i was made this way, i.e.- just another one of "god"'s (i use the quotes because i'm not christian) little boo-boos...imperfect, and proud of it.

in response to the comments made by brooklynbabe:
if it were religiously wrong for gays to exist, then why do we/they?
if God really doesn't want us around, he would have destroyed every last little gay man/lesbian by now.
and there are quite a few unwed teenage mothers out there, but nobody's demanding that they are morally corrupt or wrong.
a blog is a blog. as far as being sick about blogs about homosexuality: i do believe it's sort of a given in this one. if you're sick of reading them; find something else to read. there are plenty of blogs about whiny teenagers who want to/have attempted or are close to suicide. i'm annoyed by that, but i choose not to read them.
as far as gay people being wrong because they can't procreate "the old-fashioned way", what about the straight couples who are elderly and get married...way past the "prime" for baby-making? what about the couples who simply cannot produce children?
nobody is necessarily saying that being gay "defines them", as you mention gay people doing...but being gay is a part of them...as much a part of them as being a nationality, a american citizen, a musican, etc and so-forth.
not all gays are critical of catholics and christians. i know plenty of straight people who despise the catholic church more than anything. and the importance of gay pride? what's not to understand. are you african american? let's assume that you are...would you feel pride in celebrating february as african-american history month? i would certainly hope so (and i could have made that statement about any race).
pride isn't just about parades and flags, it's about the confidence to face the world each day. some people feel that expressing (rather than suppressing) their homosexual tendencies is another thing that gets them through the day. if a girl wears make-up to make her outside feel the tiniest better about her inside, nobody screams about her "female pride" being negative.
if you don't see the need for gay pride, why not question the need for pride at all? st. patrick's day, christmas, thanksgiving, independence day...all pride events, all have parades and floats and people in the streets rejoicing for one thing or another. there is a correlation there.
i promise that this will be the end now: in closing, perhaps there is more to being gay than everyone can understand. sometimes it's impossible to understand something when you just aren't that one defining thing.
i don't claim to understand what it's like to be a straight person...but i sure try looking at it from the other side of the fence every once in awhile. that sort of juxtaposition sure helps me feel a whole lot more humble.

i actually got to thinking about this "too kinky" idea.
i think i may have found something that's a bit too kinky.
lace. i have a friend who is into boys wearing silk stockings and lacey panties...and him wearing them, too...and girls in them. he basically likes anything in silk stockings and lacey panties come to think of it.
it's not kinky for me, it's just plain weird.
not that i have room to talk. lol.
